Official: Prime Minister and government are lying about Fukushima — This is a big problem

[...] Abe repeated the controversial remarks [he made to the Olympic committee] almost word for word, saying the “effects from the contaminated water have been perfectly blocked within the bay.”

“By stating this clearly, I want to bring an end to harmful rumors about Fukushima,” he asserted. [...]

“During the presentation for the Olympic Games, Prime Minister Abe told a lie,” Teruhiko Mashiko, an Upper House member and vice president of the Democratic Party of Japan, said during a recent interview in Tokyo.

“This is a big problem. The government should invest more people, money and technologies to turn their lies into truths,” Mashiko, who represents Fukushima Prefecture, said in an interview with The Japan Times. [...]

Mashiko said residents of Fukushima, in particular those in the fishery industry, have developed a deep distrust of Tepco, which has made it even harder for the utility to handle the crisis.

It is beyound lying, pathological liar. As per Oxford dictionary 2. Of or caused by a physical or mental disorder, a pathological liar.
Prove this and you can impeach the prime minister and cabinet, look outside the box, like how they got Al Capone.

Al Capone sold alcohol when it was illegal and massacred a handful of men, was jailed because he didnt pay enough tax money to the FED. Compared to todays crime syndicates which kill in the millions and get off free every time, you could say the 1930s were the peaceful good old days. Franklin Roosevelt got Capones armored limousine. Today the crime syndicate is huge and includes the U.N., WHO, FDA, the IAEA and several other groups although they may be only loosely related. Mankind; a bad version of chimpanzee, get over yourselves

I don't know what the issue is. While we want to think we're electing politicians that are looking out for our best interest, the majority of the voters elect the people that lie to them the best. Elections now (if any are fair) are nothing more than voting for the person who tells the best lies.

We will never, and have never, been told the truth by politicians. Some are just lucky to benefit from the policies politicians vote for themselves.

PM Abe, the Super lying dog yesterday, in a radsuit: ("No problemz here at FUKUP, I'm wearing a rad suit cos I always loved disaster movies as a kid, plus it proves how safe it is to be here in the belly of the devil")

"I have come to visit Fukushima because in Buenos Aires I told the world that there were no health concerns and there was nothing to worry about"….

Well as our lame US apologist said a few days ago…maybe Abe was referring to the leak they mopped up at the tank with suicide squads.

In other words…don't expect high society to convict any politician for any official emark, lie or no lie.

The biggest slam to humans was not his remarks, but the fact a large delegation of Olympic Committee members voted for Tokyo knowing full well Japan is facing a centuries long crisis. They are the people we should be mad at, not an arrogant dishonest wannabe Shogun.

Just the other day, heard a rundown of the huge corporate sponsors. The Olympic Committee is puppets to THEM. Complicity by ANYONE is wrong, but regrettably, the Olympic Committee is just a symptom of a more pervasive evil.

Apparently they are deadlocked in Japan and cannot do anything politically. Yoichi Shimatsu, a great Japanese-American journalist who goes back and forth, says that the ordinary Japanese people are spending no money, and there is no money or power to oppose Abe. He thinks they are headed towards marshal law. Now there is the new upcoming legislation to criminalize the release of any accurate radiation numbers.

It's doubtful they currently have a way to "look outside the box." The only "box" there now seems to be the national death trap.

You are correct once again Obe…a little off topic, but considering there is no one concerned about the devastating health effects of Fuku I thought this this article was interesting:

"Sir David Attenborough, who last year described humans as a ‘plague on Earth’, has now gone on record in calling for nations of the world to stop sending food aid to starving nations in order to reduce the population of the world."

Attenborough is correct; there are way too many human animals on this planet. People are incensed because of huge and unwarranted ego-centrism. Im more concerned about the several species going extinct per day than the one super bloated specie that is causing their demise.

TIS, I read economic hit man etc. There are too many people. Plenty of resources for who? We eat all the fish -look into that one- we take down all the trees, we inhabit all the fine places to the point where you cant walk on an isolated beach and neither can monk seals, or sea otters for example. Read holocine extinction. the present rate of extinction may be up to 140,000 species per year due to your 'cant have enough of em' human species, the source of pain and suffering for all. Do you like zoos? … psh!

Just the sheer numbers of poor cows and chickens "farmed" for consumption is enough of a realization that billions of people are just a bummer. What if the land was covered with baboons, or chimpanzees, or Hyenas, hyenas everywhere, on the beaches and in big cities, billions and billions of Hyenas. Theres enough resources for billions of monitor lizards and wart hogs, that doesnt mean they should dominate every scrap of land around the globe.

This is anthrocentrism you are speaking and is a narrow view. May egocentric and grotesque omnivore aliens infest the earth by the billions and argue theres enough resources for themselves

Actually, CS, I was meaning to describe how populations reduce themselves as their income levels rise, with the concurrent possibility of bringing our shared existence into balance with nature, if we can deal with the greed that is the bane of our human existence.

But I see that you are going through an existential crisis, and far be it from me to interfere with your possible emergence as a Shinto master.

A Shinto Blessing

Your eyes may see some uncleanliness,
but may your mind not see things that are not clean.
Your ears may hear some uncleanliness,
but may your mind not hear things that are not clean.

I do not believe this plant is for humans only and a few trophy species, main problem to many of us humans, to live with nature not for nature.
Surly you must realize at some point the earth will not be able to support us all,their is a number, I like biodiversity, it is the greatest gift of all, bordering on a miracle.

At one time we created everything we needed down on the farm. Our needs were few & community, family & integrity were the principles most of us lived by. Companies made a reputation by word of mouth becasue of excellent customer service & quality products.

Over time however farmers were starved off their land by larger & larger corporations. Small business were bought up by even larger companies. Until such time that there were no more jobs in the country. Prices increased to the point that females had to go out & work but initially without education they worked for slave wages. Which created an abnormal increase in workers..thus forcing wages lower. This also broke up families…somebody else raised your kids in many cases. As jobs decreased people moved to the city to get work in factories etc.

As consumer products increased quality decreased. And then those jobs went overseas..And ya know what? I dang well better be able to buy cheap products from China..the products you are buying are made by North Amrican companies with the country or origin on them…do you think that Chinese made products would get into this country if it actually was a threat to our economy?

You know the rest, it was orchestrated to create a consumer society. And don't tell me that we & millions more didn't fight tooth & nail to hang onto the *old ways & try to save our farms etc.

When a flood of Chinese solar products threatened US sales in 2012, the US was quick to add a tariff that has limited the amount of those products.

Those cheap products are allowed in & are made by our country, with cheap labor, no regulations & no employee protections. So it should be cheap. But what that allows is to have North American made products priced sky high…there is now no competition for made in the USA so they will charge what the market ( means you & I ) will bear (what we will pay)…not what the product is worth.

And as has been said…it is the top 1% that the most expensive labor intensive & land destroying items are made for.

That factory farmed food is made in order to be able to now artificially force up the price of ***organic food…it is simply normally grown food…as we did years ago…but now with next to no competition & the garbage food for the masses…they can charge what the market will bear..not what the food is actually worth. All of it done to also separate the classes of people even more & becasue of greed & most importantly Power.

"For his part, Mashiko believes Tepco will eventually have to discharge the water into the sea to save the plant from the water crisis, as other experts say. But before that, the utility must first regain public trust, he said."
